April 9, 2026 Board of Supervisors Meeting

The April 9, 2026 meeting of the Nottoway County Board of Supervisors included significant discussions and decisions related to local property management and a major solar energy project. The board approved the sale of the barracks parcel to the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation for $700,000 and accepted a deed for an annex building property. A key focus was the Rocky Ford solar facility siting agreement, which the board approved by a 3-2 vote after extensive public comment and debate over setbacks, water usage, and impacts on neighboring properties. The board deferred action on the related solar performance agreement to a future meeting to allow further review. Other agenda items included dog confinement advertising and potential relocation of county offices. The meeting highlighted community concerns about land use, environmental impacts, and economic benefits of solar development, as well as the county's efforts to balance property rights with citizen interests and fiscal needs.
